Johnny Reggae Rub Foundation + DJ Mr. Monk

Urban Ska & Dirty Reggae

„German band Johnny Reggae Rub Foundation bring together early reggae, rocksteady & ska to create a sort of modern ‘urban 2-tone’ sound. The arrangements are unique, the
music is tight, the vocals are distinct and overall the vibes are 100% top ranking!“ [Leo from jaheire.com]

It’s the true passion for music, the deep understanding of the roots and the strong impact of the scene that forms the sound of JOHNNY REGGAE RUB FOUNDATION.

When JOHNNY SKA and CHRISSY REGGAE started the band, they had in mind to bring out the soul of Jamaican music, combine it with distinct songwriting, and work on the sound till something special
evolves. The song is the ruler,the vocals the conqueror –

niceness!

With ROLO TENG on bass JOHNNY SKA and CHRISSY REGGAE found a partner in crime fitting in perfectly. Coming from different backgrounds the trio is driven by the unconditional will to succeed in
music and the urge to perform.

Music by the fans for the fans. JOHNNY REGGAE RUB FOUNDATION, in love with ska and early reggae, having surfed every wave in ska music as fans in front of stages

and THE UPSESSIONS, now come up with their own special musical fingerprint to contribute to the ska community.
